Incredibly easy to use and useful if you wanna keep private stuff hidden from anyone grabbing your phone. You cannot even have access to the content if you connect your phone on the computer since you have to restore things from app first. Amazing!

search the folder /mnt/sdcard/.hermit/recovery_area for the files with .hider extension.And then create a new folder somewhere and move all those hidden files into it. You can re-hide that folder and then unhide it in the app. You can also manually rename the files by removing the .hider extension if there are just several files.

To the Android 4.4(KitKat) users who have an additional external SD card: Android 4.4(KitKat) no longer allows the files on the external storage to be changed, so if you want to hide the files on the external sdcard, please first move those files to /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.tonado.boli.hermit.hider before hiding!

Good app It does not hide the file from File Maneger Only hides from Gallary

I hiddened my camera folder in my internal storage in LG G5, it worked fine... then I got some very very important pictures after that... first there were in the camera folder and they were showing in the gallery but suddenly they disappeared and after unhiding the folder these pictures are not among them... and /mnt/sdcard/.hermit/recovery_area is empty... after hiding files they go to the path above but there are no newly taken photos there while the folder was hidden... what should I do? plzzzzz for god sake, help me... those pics were very critical... i also emailed you... plz answer me... I also tried using recovering apps, but they needed my device to be rooted, but rooting for my current software version is not yet possible.

The path may be different on different phones. You can connect your phone to your pc and search for all the .hider files from there if you couldn't find the hidden files in the recovery_area folder.

Great app except for one strange behaviour. With my Tab S 10.5 LTE, when a folder is hidden, it can't be seen on the tablet AND on the laptop that was connected to the tablet. However, with my LG G4, the hidden folder can't be see on the phone, BUT it is exposed on the laptop. Fortunately, I have my documents individually encrypted and so I was still protected. Need to have the bug fixed. Both my tablet & phone are running Marshmallow.

Does not work at all on my galaxy s7. It says the file is hidden but I can still easily find the file. Edit: After a rather quick response from the developer I turned off fast mode. It does work now but takes upwards of 20mins and I have to keep the app on screen the whole time. However it is hiding my files well enough.

It seems the Fast Mode doesn't work on your device. Please go to Setting and deselect the 'Fast Mode' option.

It is a great app! I am happy with it. But it has some weakness. If someone uninstall the app on my phone and reinstall it, then he can have all my private files. So what I'm saying is that if it comes with uninstallation security, it will much better.

I have hidden some files then I unhide all the files from app and uninstall app but can't see those hidden files in my phone now ..please help. .hermit folder says no media.. what should I do please tell.. I want all my pictures back Can you tell me the path because even after connecting to PC I can't my pictures.. why I can't see them back in my folder.

Supposedly I will rate this app for 5 stars but I have a problem in this app just in. I have this app with my old phone and it is working just fine. Then suddenly my phone broke, so I bought another phone. Now I cant see the files that were hidden using my old phone within my sd card to my new phone. I haven't able to restored the files before my old phone broke. Now can I still recover these files? If yes, please reply asap. Then I can rate this app for 5 stars.

I used File Hide expert app to hide some important folders, which was created in my phone's external storage. My phone got some software issues and it could not be rectified. I inserted my memory card in my new phone, but I am not able to view my folders. What to do?

It hides what you want it to hide, but the app is easily found so others can ask questions. It also uses tiles instead of thumbnails so when you go to review your stuff you do not know what it is as you cannot see it.

I needed to hide a folder and sub folders and files in them. Even the top rated apps didn't work. This app hide all of them gallery. You have to move the folder deep in the file structure and hide with this app so it's hidden from gallery and hard to find in file explorer. This is the best app for hiding folders. Thanks developer.
